Quinoa Oatmeal Pancakes

I’ll be honest, I think regular white flour pancakes are gross. That may make me the worst Canadian ever, (since flapjacks with pure maple syrup are a bit of a Canadian classic) but I dislike them immensely; and it’s not just because I’m gluten free and can’t eat them. Though I’ll admit, that does add to my distaste a little.

Before you start thinking that I’m crazy, (I mean this is a blog post for pancakes) let me clarify things a wee bit. I don’t like white flour pancakes, but I LOVE buckwheat and spelt ones. Basically, I’m just picky when it comes to a stack of flapjacks.

Recently my husband and I went camping with some good friends of ours. One morning our friends wowed us when they cooked up a batch of delicious quinoa oatmeal pancakes; which I can truthfully say were the best pancakes that I have ever had. Even my kids loved them. The best part? They’re healthy and full of protein goodness.

Grill up a batch of  your own! But be warned: you might not be able to go back to a box of Bisquick after you’ve tried them. 😉

Here’s to happy and healthy eating!
